Better than I expected, but still boring and esoteric. |

Because this blog represents one of the biggest leaps forward in the delvelopment of the game. Certainly as big as PC and more so than the skill tree updates.
This is going to be a major help for how corporations are able to be maintained. Anything that allows a CEO and directors the ability to safely delegate tasks such as recruitment without access to to the wallet and district control is going to be a huge boost.
It also means that we can now reward those players that are helpful to the corp and give them a sense of responsibility and engagement by giving them a role in the day to day running of a corp.

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on these forums.
You know what these updates are? They're conveniences. Adding a special Recruiter-only role only consolidates what could already have been done by any director or CEO. With a bigger corporation, obviously it's going to be nice, but this doesn't add anything to the game that couldn't have been done already.
As big as PC...lolwut. |

You can appoint multiple people to the role, and I would advise appointing everyone who's approved to fight in PC. If 80% of the people who are going into PC are appointed to the TCO role, then any connection issues where they drop out will be mitigated by being able to jump right back in after a reset. By having a way to approve whether someone can join PC or not, you can keep out anyone who hasn't been specifically vetted and might be a saboteur--or who's just clueless and needs training.
Know how everybody wants vehicle locks? This is the equivalent for PC.
That said, maybe the role shouldn't have the word "officer" in the title, since I suspect many corps will be using it to check off who is approved to join PC at all, and not just the people they want leading squads.
Except for the part where we can already do all of that. If someone is in who you don't want to be, you kick them. Now we have this role that CEOs and/or Directors literally need to go through the entire member list and give everyone who is eligible the role. It's stupid.
Not to mention people who don't get it aren't going to be happy, leading to unnecessary drama.
Glad you wasted a month on this, TrueGrit. 1.6 better be ******* epic. |

I see your point. But I also see the other side of the coin as well. As a CEO I like this. The only real problem I see with this is the connection/loading issues. As far as drama goes.......what isn't drama? Someone is always unhappy or bitching about something. It's all about how you handle the drama sir, that's what makes a person successful.
As far as a fix for this. I think having a option added into the little checklist on members to say "PC Eligible", would be a nice fix.
Parson, Smile sir. Life is good. Don't be so grumpy. It's a free game enjoy and help make it better.
It isn't the other side of the coin. It's one eighth of one side of one penny (CEO/Director of large corporations) versus both sides and edges of five thousand fifty-cent pieces (everyone else).
It's hard to try to make the game better (which I've been doing consistently for a year and a half now) when people complain about mundane and unimportant features that CCP spends valuable time programming when they could be, you know, making actual content. TrueGrit is the same team that does PC and FW, among other things. In what twisted world does this nonsense take priority over FW and PC--the only persistent parts of this game (one of it's only unique features)?
And people accuse me of not trying to make it better  |
